ACTS International (A Christian Teaching Service) is a non-profit, church service organization whose members and supporters come from many different Christian churches and denominations. Our purpose is to help the church communicate the Christian message to the wider community—which, via the Internet, has become a world-wide community.

ACTS International was founded in 1968 by Richard (Dick) Innes and has offices in Australia and the U.S.A..

Based on the words of Jesus, "Do you want to be made whole?" ACTS goal is to apply the Christian message and gospel to the growth and maturity of the whole person and thereby help people become healthy and whole, not only spiritually, but also emotionally, relationally, and physically.

We believe that God is not concerned so much about religion as he is about relationships. That is, he not only wants us to have a right relationship with himself through Jesus Christ, but also with each other—and ourselves.

We believe that God's goal isn't to make people good simply for goodness sake, but to make people whole for only to the degree that we are made whole will our lifestyle, actions, attitudes, behavior, and relationships be wholesome.

We also believe that Christianity is much more than a creed. While the creed is very important, Christianity is more than intellectually believing in a creed. It is experiencing divine love, divine acceptance and divine forgiveness, and communicating these to every life we touch.

More than 40 million of ACTS Encounter gospel brochures/leaflets have been distributed world-wide by hundreds of churches, chaplains, other organizations, business and professional people, and lay persons. Thousands of people have responded over the years.
